This blog contains a collection of accounts and photographs of the women who attended Wilson College since its founding in 1869. Wilson College women were pioneers in medicine, science, missionary work, women's suffrage, business, education and more.
This first collection will focus on more than eighty Wilson alumnae who were missionaries in fourteen countries and regions around the world from the late 1800s through the 1940s.

The Hankey Center is a scholarly center focused on the history and education of women, and provides space and facilities for study, research, and discussion as well as internships for students in the fields of women's history and archives management.

The Hankey Center serves as the central resource on the history of Wilson College. We provide support for academic programs by making the Center’s staff and resources available to the Wilson community, as well as to scholars, independent researchers and educators in the broader community.

The Hankey Center staff is available to speak to community organizations, schools and other institutions of higher education, on topics related to the history of women's education, the history of Wilson College, archiving and genealogy, encouraging girls in math and science, and a variety of women's issues.
